"Fail" is a strong word, if it's a reference to performance. Fail in terms of metal "failure", pieces breaking off, yes,...Actually, a Barnes tech told me that he wouldn't expect loss of petals at any speed unless "heavy bone" was hit.
I believe I pretty much covered all of this except for the word of "heavy." However, "fail" was the exact word I meant to say because the discussion at hand was weight retention and most hollowpoints lose weight via "failure" of the structure.

but Barnes is very adamant that the bullets will perform well in terms of lethality at literally any speed
How did the Barnes tech define lethality in milk jugs?
